A facelift generally takes three to six hours and is performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation. Incisions are usually placed discreetly around the ears, along the hairline, and sometimes under the chin. Patients often experience mild discomfort and tightness for one to two weeks. Swelling and bruising improve over three to six weeks, and results become noticeable as swelling subsides. The final outcome typically develops over three to six months.Most facelift procedures are outpatient, allowing patients to return home the same day. Surgeons may recommend wearing a supportive chin or neck garment during the first week to aid healing.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
What Is Eyelid Surgery?
Eyelid surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates your eyes by removing excess skin, muscle, and fat from your upper or lower eyelids. The procedure addresses drooping upper lids, puffy bags under your eyes, and wrinkled lower eyelid skin that make you look tired or older. Blepharoplasty restores a refreshed, youthful appearance to your eyes while maintaining natural expression.
